Carve the above in stone (or at least bookmark it). :D Exactly right, best all-around tire size/gear ratio setups. :cheers:
If you shop around, you can get a genuine Dana gear set and master rebuild kit for about $300; Yukon sets for maybe $50 less shipped. A reputable shop that specializes in re-gearing down here typically charges about $200/axle labor. There's a famous state-wide-known good old boy out of Birmingham who travels around the state on a semi-fixed schedule to various dealerships, 4WD shops, etc. and all he does is Dana diff regears, mostly Jeeps, and is always busy. That's ALL he does, he is very good, and has a 100% no questions asked guarantee. That's the type of tech you need to find, not some local yahoo who brags a lot. Ask me how I know. :doh:
